A creature dubbed the 'oriental yeti' is being examined by scientists after emerging from ancient woodlands in remote central China.
The hairless beast was trapped by hunters in Sichuan province after locals reported spotting what they thought was a bear.
Hunter Lu Chin explained: "It looks a bit like a bear but it doesn't have any fur and it has a tail like a kangaroo."
"It also does not sound like a bear - it has a voice more like a cat and it is calling all the time - perhaps it is looking for the rest of its kind or maybe it's the last one?

If this is the “yeti” that everyone is so afraid of, that cage better be 10 feet high.

If it’s like the East Coast Beast a while back it will turn out to be something known - but hairless due to something like mange.

Was it caught in the Fire Swamp? It looks like a rodent of unusual size.

"...it will turn out to be something known - but hairless due to something like mange..." I'm guessing a lesser panda...of course this is Asia, and I remember one night in Korea seeing a rat about the size of a 'possum...

That is one ugly mangy dog. Treat it with Ivomec and feed it
To: Free ThinkerNY
That thing looks like one of my hangovers.

“Chinese find mangy dog.”
To: rrrod
“Sichuan province “
That means it should be served hot and spicy.

There are none in this country because we have so many Chinese restaurants.
